Nordsjaelland defender keen on Chelsea

Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore has admitted that Chelsea are his favourite club and that he has always dreamed of playing for the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Chelsea may have won 4-0 win against Danish champions Nordsjaelland in the UEFA Champions League in Copenhagen last night but the Danish side did hold their own for the first 75 minutes with young international defender Okore showing why he is so highly rated. And if all goes to plan, Okore, who did a great job minimising the threat of Fernando Torres, will feature again when Chelsea host Nordsjaelland in their return group game.

“I was not fazed by their stature. When the game is on, I only see humans like you and me,” Okore told Sky Sports. “Of course they are a great team, which they showed, but I was just focusing on my assignments and, to be fair, I think I did pretty well. Hopefully I proved I have what it takes to play in a competition like the Premier League, which is one of the best leagues in the world. So hopefully I can play in England someday. Chelsea are my favourite team and I would love to play for them in the future. Every player dreams of playing for Chelsea and I am no exception.”
